I find it hard to believe that the UK v EU red tape is more implacable than that between the US and China. However, if it is then it is arbitrary, petty, and vindictive nonsense. If it’s not then it’s childish and petulant reluctance to get to work overcoming the obstacle and getting on with the real work.

The problem is that the conservatives in the UK govt. don't care about things like this. It's tax cuts and wrecking the NHS so private health care companies can come in and "fix" things.

It's so much like the situation in the US, except compared to Trump, even Johnson seemed somewhat reasonable.

"Reasonable" is not a word I'd use for Johnson, but he is intelligent. His looking like an idiot was mostly an act in order to look disarming.

this is pure ideological misinformation.

It was Labour who actually started the privatisation of NHS services in 2003. Keir Starmer has also been quite vocal that NHS privatisation would continue under Labour.

Politicians of all walks of life do not have a solution that doesn't involve privatisation.

fix up.
